Actually, Sarah, this helps a lot! The first part is exactly a way in which I need to 'look' at the data. I never looked at the filter aspect before. and I am very much a visual person and need to 'see' the data the first few hundred times I work with it. :-)

Off to read up on filtering.....

Thanks

Tom

The filter command should be able to do what you want very quickly e.g.
filter fld "Data" with myKey1 & comma & myKey2 & comma & myKey3 & comma & "*"
will give you only the lines that start with the 3 specified keys.
Then you can loop through a subset of the original data.


While custom properties may be faster, I prefer to do my initial development with the data in a visible and easily editable form. Even later on, I still find that this is often the best way as retrieving & setting the data is rarely the speed limiting step.

HTH,
Sarah
